Above the Corral Springs trail at the Roaring River, or not? Don

Donald Presley said Above the Corral Springs trail at the Roaring River, or not? Don

Not. But has anyone been down there lately?

Donovan said  But has anyone been down there lately?

It is on my list of hikes to do this year.  That is the only official trail in the district that I haven't been on at all.  I have 2 other trails that I have hiked part of but not the whole thing.  I didn't include Bissell and the White Iris trail, but those are on the list for this year as well.  My goal is to finish all these hikes this year so I can say I have hiked all the trail mileage in the district at least once.

Donovan said   OK here you go. What trail was I on ?   D

Looks like Parrywinkle Falls so you'd have been on the 517.   --Paul

I kinda didn't care for the home made sign, but yeah that's it. Ten years ago.   Another winner.   Your turn Paul.

This sign?  

Here goes, easy-peasy, this is from an old wilderness area, what trail am I on?  

Would that be the PCT in the southern part of the district in the Jefferson Wilderness area?

Paul that segment looks to be part of the Old Baldy Trail  #502 above Squaw Lakes, which, as far as I know, is still not in a wilderness area even with the new additions. Portions of the Old Baldy Trail, west of the 4614 road and east of Twin Springs are in new wildernesses, but that segment that photo was from and the Fanton Trail are out of wilderness boundaries.

That's right and looking at the district map closer I see that it is indeed out of the Salmon Huck wilderness thx for the correction. You're up...   --Paul

Here is a fresh photo from yesterday's outing on a current trail on a beautiful spring day out in the Clackamas country. Don

I'm having a hard time figuring out where that was taken.  It looks like the Alder Swamp trail, but that isn't a current trail.  The snow depth looks about right, but I can't think of any other trails that are level that would be low enough to hike.

Looks a little cold and dark for a beautiful Spring day.   D.

It was a warm day in the sunshine. I believe the snow melted about an inch during my hike. The deepest I saw the snow at this location was about a foot deep when I was more out in the open. Underneath a thick canopy of old growth, as where the photo was taken, the snow was about 6 inches on average with some bare spots. The trail is basically flat, gaining very little from one end to the other, maybe a couple hunderd feet. It was a perfect trail to snowshoe, which was what I was doing on this spring day. I only wish there was more snow, for I came across bare spots, but I really didn't want to drive up any further up the single tracks in the road that were getting deeper. With the warmer weather we are now having, getting higher up the Clackamas River will be alot easier in the next weekend or two. Maybe I will get to use those snow shoes a few more times before I hang them up for the year. Don

Basically flat? Well that would have to be the Riverside Trail?   D.

  Bingo! We have a winner. Your turn.   Don

  Here you go.   I'll make it easy. It's in a Wilderness. What trail are we on?

That looks like the Bull of the Woods, maybe Whetstone? Whoever cut that out would be sure to remember that spot, I know I would if I did it. Don

I believe he said it took all day. One of those that keep coming down the hill. Hikers have no idea. D.
